Barefoot in the Backyard Edmonton Performers

Alan Doyle, actor, producer, newly-minted best-selling author, and bestknown as lead singer for Newfoundland’s beloved Great Big Sea these past 20+ years, released his second solo album, So Let’s Go, in January 2015. Title-track lead single So Let’s Go, is a rousing rallying cry that’s only further proof of Doyle’s ability to draw the listener under his banner. Equally adept at drawing a crowd, Doyle & the Beautiful Gypsies are taking their energetic show across Canada and the US in early 2016. A taste of the live show can be seen in Doyle’s video for “1,2,3,4” featuring Barenaked Ladies’ Ed Robertson [WATCH HERE].

A career in the music industry was not even on the radar for CHANTAL KREVIAZUK until recovering from a serious motorcycle crash in 1994. That was when the multiple Juno Award winner began writing what would become her Platinum-selling debut album Under These Rocks and Stones (1997). Chantal has since become one of Canada’s most beloved artists, with a string of distinguished albums and singles, including “God Made Me”, “Surrounded”, “Leaving On A Jet Plane”, “Feels Like Home”, “Before You”, “Invincible”, “All I Can Do” and “In This Life”. Driven to expand her artistry, Chantal has become a highly sought-after songwriter, having penned hits for Pink, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, and Drake, among many others.

"Hard Sail," Chantal's first new album in 6 years, is available now, featuring the singles "All I Got" and "Into Me."

Sarah McLachlan is one of the most celebrated singer songwriters in entertainment with over 40 million albums sold worldwide. She is a nine-time Juno Award winner and a three-time Grammy Award winner. McLachlan's landmark fifth album, the 10x-platinum Surfacing, contained two Grammy Award-winning tracks, "Building a Mystery" and "Last Dance." In addition to her personal artistic efforts, she founded the Lilith Fair tour, which showcased female musicians and raised over $7 million for local and national charities. In 2002 McLachlan founded her non-profit organization, the Sarah McLachlan School of Music, which provides top quality music instruction at no cost, in a safe and nurturing environment, for at-risk and underserved children and youth. From an early age, music provided McLachlan with the tools she needed to navigate the challenges she faced in her life, so she recognizes how important it is for every child to have those same opportunities. Her most recent album, Shine On, explores her personal journey over the last three years navigating love, loss and change. Shine On celebrates the human ability to grow from our experiences, thrive and shine on. McLachlan is currently working on a new Christmas album which will be released this fall.
